Leicester are not the best side to have won the Premier League title but you would struggle to find a more hardworking and deserved side.

Predicted Tottenham line-up to face Leicester

Their appetite in working for each other demonstrated by the sweat and toil of Danny Drinkwater, who was tireless in midfield as Spurs threatened to run riot.

Up front the Foxes always had Jamie Vardy ready to forage.

By last season’s standards he’s still yet to hit top gear, but there’s doubting his fighting spirit and willingness to harass defences.Spurs – the only unbeaten side in the Premier League – went at it full pelt and Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel punched out an effort from Dele Alli in the 15th minute.

And while his knuckles were still stinging from that one he had to repeat his effort to keep out Danny Rose a minute later.

Leicester are getting their act together after a stuttering start to the season and they arrived in London having moved into double-figures with a home victory over Crystal Palace.

But it needed Ranieri to address some very dodgy form on the road.

The champions were bottom of the standings away from the King Power Stadium with four defeats from four, just three goals scored and an ugly 13 conceded.

Admittedly they have had some pretty tough assignments but have ended up being steamrollered by Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea as Ranieri test-runs various new combinations in midfield.

He got it right at Whiter Hart Lane though, as Danny Drinkwater and Andy King combined well to hold back the Tottenham tide.

Spurs boast the only unbeaten record in the Premier League, but boss Mauricio Pochettino will be disappointed they could not make the most of their possession to nail all three points.

The Argentinian got it all wrong in midweek when his lightweight, youthful side were no match for Liverpool in the EFL Cup.

That meant they went into the game on a run of four without a win four without a win in all competitions, having scored just twice.

They were unlucky not to take the lead when Alli smacked a ferocious 41st-minute shot against the bar but two minutes later they were in front.

“The Leicester boss proudly stretched his unbeaten run against Tottenham to 11 games, including seven wins”

Robert Huth pulled Janssen to the ground and referee Robert Madley pointed to the spot.

Janssen picked himself up to score with a powerful spot-kick.

Yet there was always the nagging doubt that Leicester could bite back and they did not leave it too long.

In the 50th minute Victor Wanyama attempted a headed back-pass only for Vardy to intercept and cross for Musa to fire the equlaiser.

It was the first goal Spurs have conceded this season in open play.

Jan Vertonghen headed against Leicester’s crossbar as the game moved in to five added minutes but Leicester stayed solid and King even had time to force a save from Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris with a close range header.
